DAYS OF McDONALD RECALLED BY GEORGE SPOTTON'S FIRST SPEECH (Toropto Telegram) , • Ottawa, Ont March 2, ,S1 I There was a burst of iatighter from Like a both sides when Mr. Spotton followed breath fronI the past, a good. olds -fa- up his thrusts at the Government with shioned political speech crept into an appeal for help for Goderich Har - the debate last night. It was renin- • bor. But he wasn't as foolish as he iscent of the days when, the old par listened. He pointed to the promises ties were led, by partisans like Mac- that had been made by Grit canvass- donald and Laurier, and. the leaders' ers during the election, did not spend their time writing per- "By reason of those promises there fumed notes,to each other. It was was a turnover 'of nine hundred in. as refreshing as the breeze that pre -j, Goderich," he declared:' 'The people cedesa summer shower. It woke the of Goderich did their part. Now let sleepers and made even the statesmen the) Government keep its promises.. in the froift benches sit up and, take 1 "But what do we find?" he asked, as notice. •; he held up a blue book, "That the George Spotton, the newly -elect of Government only provided $9, 000 ex - North Huron, provided the welcome 'tra for the harbor. Nine thousand- variation. He is a large man, is why they spent more than that in one George, with voice to match. And he Iward." told the story of the late by-election ++ But it was when he was discussing with sidelights that,,kept the Conser- .immigration.that . Mn Spotton drew native benches rocking with laughter.) the biggest Tory"- g laugh, If I had a He recalled the procession of . great : boy of twenty-one who wanted too g Grits who filled the concessions of his to the. U.S., what would I tell;; him?" riding- with their eloquence.. Yes, he and IV is, Spotton scratched his head even noticed the caliope that led the ; thoughtfully for a moment. "The on- Kings, the Cannons, the Malcolms ;1. time," heco i Y continued, Hued); "the Premier and the Elliotts to the halls and of Canada went out to make a living school houses.' There, he said, the i.it was in the United States," Robb Budget had been put on trial and found wanting -found wanting by the verdict of the people at the polls. Norcould he find the abundant prosperity that, was preached in those school houses as well as on the'floors of Parliament. :And as evidence that everybody was not wealthy, he point- ed to a mail carrier back home. This man had carried the mails for a beggarly pittance for fifteen years. Then when another man offered to do the same job for the same money the Department had written the defeated Grit candidate to ask who should get the contract He appealed to Post- master -General Veniot, who was in his seat, if this was fair treatment -if the men who carry His Majesty's mail were being treated as they deserved, "It's been the same under all gov- ernments," protested Mr. Veniot, "Yes," thundered Mr. Spotton, "but there has been more politics in the Postoffice Department underthe present Minister than ever before," Didn't Try Comeback And for once. Mr. Veniot, rough and ready politician that he is, didn't at- tempt a comeback. He appeared to realize that the best he could hope for was the worst of it. Mill Oratory. But aside from the Spotton effort, the day was filled with run of mill oratory. To be sure, Hon. Dr. King, Minister of Health, did his forty min- utes. Save for the fact that he tried to justify the MacConachie ease in which a fourteen -months -old child was refused adnrission'to the country and. the mother had to accompany it back to Britain, though the rest of the family was in Canada, he 'didnit add much to the discussion, He claimed that the law said the child must go and the law must be obeyed, But the Government is not worry- ing about the debate. It is when the tariff resolutions get into committee. that their troubles : will start. Then the tinkering w1l start adI';over again. Some of the experts claim that the Minister himself will introduce no less than twenty-five amendments in his attempt to clear up the muddle: Meanwhile the Saskatchewan Lib- era)-Progs. are howling that the new tariff is protection in its worst for-rn. It is even claimed that some of them will vote against the budget. But they'll hardly let thein' feelings carry them that far.

H. W. L. McKenzie King's ad-. dress in that building last September with the thunderous bombardment of North Huron's new member, George Spotton, in the House of Commons last Wednesday night. No, it was just the pent-up enthusiasm of four, or five hundred enthusiastic hockey fans, when a game conceded to Listow- el 4-0, turned into a victory, even if ; in the last half minute the visitors tied the score, Say it was some thril- ler of a game, fast clean hockey, with only two one -minute penalties, evenly; divided, I Listowel players are older in years I and experience, and heavier than the , locals, with a corresponding advan•• 1 tage. They opened up the proceed- ings roceed- ; ings with a determined attack on Wingham goal, but . McGee had all eyes on I y s the job, and throughout the period burned aside many outside and close -in shots that seemed impossible to stop. His work all through proved grand. After a ding-dong battle up and down the ice; with. brilliant com- bination plays by the visitors they were forced to call it a draw,' no tal• lies being made. Shortly after the beginning of the second period, Bellgot the puck and . fooled McGee with a close -in shot, and about five minutes. later he gut Kemp's rebound off the right boards and scored again. The locals did little long distance bombardment, and once the Listowel goalie had to to- , baggan out a few feet on the pucl; but were,unable to score, although they were having much more of the play: 1 With the openingof the third per- ' p ' sod and. the score 2-o against the ]o- cals and in the first .few minutes: of play Listowel scored twice making it 4-0, few saw hope for our boys, but 'in a minute or two Veteran Howson fooled the defence and poked one past the goalie. Now, but that made a dif- ference, the crowd yelled itself hoarse, and when Alf. Lockeridge rushed through the whole' line for • another counter . more noise ascended, Then Walter Lockeridge followed suit with anotpher talley, and the crowd went into a frenzy of delight, which was in- tensified a little when Alf. Lockeridge scored and tied the visitors. With threei minutes to go Harold Mitchell got another, and with Wingham one up Listowel came to life, and with ten seconds. to go Creighton shot a high one that deflected from McGee's glove and dropped into the net, tieing the score. The line-ups: Wingham-J, McGee, A. Lockerid ge, W. Lockeridge, Dr, Howson, H. Mitchell, Harry Browne, Barney. Browne, K.

FRY & BLACKHALL LIMITED BY-LAW RECEIVED .EMPHATIC APPROVAL ON MONDAY Whatever may' have been the opin- ion of the warmest supporters of the. Fry & Blackhall Limited bylaw prev- ious to Monday, the very decisive ap- proval given by the ratepayers, came as a little surprise. During the dis- cussion of the project,' some opposi- tion arose, the extent of which was hard to determine, so the business men determined to get behind it, and with candid publicity explained the whole situation, This open and un- biased attitude no doubt had its effect, for many electors saw the project in a new light, and gave it support, With the approval of the by-law, Pry& Blackhall Limited will be enabled to complete the transfer of the Union' Factory, and begin the necessary changes and improvements. There is every reason for believing that. this means a turning point in the indust- rial life of Wingham, for with the expansion of this firm and other ind- ustries in town, there will be an added attraction for other firms to locate here: 'Results by the different polls: For Against, Ward No. 5 ,- --, xo9 6 Ward No, 2 ..•W.,,-,.,.,,-.. 126 Ward 1Vo. 3 ..- �. 5 2 I 5 7 I Ward No. 4 ... .,..... 159 10 'Ward No, 5 ..- -...„ 61 x Post Shcript: I wus glad to rade in the paypers that Miss McPhail squelshed Tom McMillan fer, Shure, he nayded thrim min fer not havin more sinse than to argy wid a wuinrnan.
